Send an email to pgstudies@uct.ac.za stating your name, faculty and department in which you are registered and which year of your PhD you’re in. Also give the title of your talk, and a <100 word non-specialist descriptor of your research (this will appear in the final program if selected for presentation).Please use 3MT competition in the subject line.

The organising & selection committee will have the final say as to which entries are accepted for presentation (in the event that we are over-subscribed).

Presenters will be notified by Friday, 7 September whether they have been selected or not.

* The ability to present research in a clear and coherent manner to an audience who know little, or nothing, about your area of study is an important skill that all doctoral students need to develop. 3MT® encourages you to develop your research communication skills and your capacity to explain your research using non-technical language to a non-specialist audience. The competition further aims to showcase the research work that our doctoral students across the University have undertaken.
